The weather forecast yesterday advised that a planned trip to the little-known Glen Quaich would be in order, but, as is very often the case, it was less bright than forecast and not wonderful for filming or photography.
Undaunted, my companion, Mr D. Murdoch, and I set about recording the day with enthusiasm, especially after cheese scones and coffee in an excellent bakery in Muthill.
Glen Quaich is also known as Strathbraan, or the Secret Strath. Robert Burns experienced it's transport difficulties in 1787 near the start of his Highland Tour. He knew it as 'the roof of the world'. It is not recorded that he sampled the delights of the Muthill bakery., or indeed any of the other delights offered by the area..
The lack of bright sunlight meant we did not see the scenery at its best but we did see Canada Geese, Black Grouse and orange sheep.. (Perhaps they were fans of Dundee United as Tannadice is perhaps the nearest 'field of dreams'.)
On reaching the other side of the Glen, we turned towards Kenmore, for a quick swatch at the Crannog., before heading back to the Beautiful Vale..
Have a look at the foties in the Glen Quaich gallery..
